The Railroad.

AS we announced last week the decis-
ion OF the Railroad Commissioners was
adverse to the application Of the corpor-
ators of the Boston < Quebec Air Line
asking the approval of that part Of the
location of their route between Skowhe-
gan and Scion
1t will be borne in mind that at the
railroad meeting held here June 2sth and
29th, in reference to this matter, Hon
W. l.. Putnum, counsel for the Somerset
road, which opposes the location, raised
an important point The law specifies
that when railroad corporation organ
ICES under the general law and com ) to
the Railroad Commissioners for an ap-
proyal of its location, it shall have had
surveys made and prepared with maps,
OF its location. But, in the present case
the petitioners have made surveys only to
Bingham, and they ask for the approval
of the road only to Scion. Mr. Putnam
objected that the law required them to
bring the entire location embraced in its
articles of association before the Com
missioners for approval. This point was
never before raised
The petition for the approval of the ar
ticles of association was granted by the
Commissioners. The articles of associa-
tion set forth that the road was to be
built by the associatiown to Jackmanton.
The petition for the approval Of the To-
cation covered only portion of that dis
tance-as stated by Mr.. PutDum and the
Commissioners denied that petition be-
cause they say, according to law, they
must approve the entire location and not
part only Of the entire line.
The action of the Commissioners in re-
fusing the location because but part of
the route is surveyed, commits them to
favorable action when such survey Is
completed and the plaLs and profile of
the whole are submitted to the considera-
ton Of the board. Therefore while the
action is temporary defeat It is an as
sursnce of ultimate victory.
